Dilemma Intersection
Chapter 64. Wedding Exam

Never compare your home to someone else's. Every household has its own problems to deal with. Neighboring grass always looks greener, but we should always be grateful with the partner we have.

During this time, Athaya and Aini's household relationship was fine. Even the two are now enjoying the time waiting for the baby. Only, now Aini is much more sensitive. Because he felt it was inappropriate to accompany Athaya with his condition like this. He still had to sit in a wheelchair, because he could not walk.

"Honey.. How to dream? What's the matter hmmm?" tanya Athaya hugs samg wife.

Aini kept quiet and did not answer. After returning from Sukabumi, Aini's attitude became much different.

"You love me, Mum?" tanya Aini made Athaya squint her forehead.

"Cok that? Obviously I love you.. Especially now that there is a baby grandpa, my dear to you increases by a thousandu percent!" Athaya kissed his wife's cheek.

"That means I can ask you for anything, right?" Aini looked at Athaya's bead.

Athaya sits himself in a chair, pulling his wife's wheelchair to face. "His bunny baby will be nice from Dad? Surely Dad will kabulin while he can and Dad can," said Athaya while kissing his wife's stomach that has begun to grow.

"Punish me after giving birth, Mom..! Find a wife who can take care of you and our children" said Aini.

Athaya's heart was pounding at the words of his wife. "What do you mean, Aini?! Why are you talking rich?!" Athaya is still trying to hold back her emotions.

"What do you expect from this disabled woman?! I won't be able to take care of you and our child! I hope you will find a woman who will take care of our baby and love him as sincerely as possible" now Aini started sobbing.

"Hold me, baby! At any time, I will never divorce you! Especially to get married again! Not at all, Aini! Where do you have thoughts like this?!"

Aini was still sobbing, while Athaya was no longer able to hold back the emotions in her chest.

"I fight for you, Aini! I fought! Don't you appreciate my struggle?! We're gonna raise our kids together! Why are you giving up, Aini?! Whyaa?!" the Athaya's snapping made Aini flinch.

Not wanting emotions to overwhelm him, Athaya leaves Aini in the room. Mbok Ratmi who listened to the conversation of the two, approached Aini who was still crying bitterly.

"Non.. Don't cry yet! Kasian dedek baby," said Mbok Ratmi trying to calm Aini.

"I'm tired, Mbok.. I'm afraid I can't take care of Mas Athaya and this baby. Right now, I still often ngerepotin Mbok same Mas," isak Aini.

"God, Non.. I work here for that. And Mbok did not feel any hassles to help Non Aini. Especially since there is a baby grandpa in the stomach Non, Mbok more excited for both of you to watch" said Mbok Ratmi.

Somehow Aini's thoughts, yet she currently felt extremely fragile.

"Non, every household must have a problem. What needs to be resolved is the problem, not the household. Talk carefully with Den Gus.. Talk with a cool head, what makes Non Aini like this. Do not let, later Non regret all the words that come out when we are emotional."

Aini nodded her head, she tightly hugged Mbok Ratmi who had always helped and accompanied her. While Athaya, she was in the garden behind her house. His heart was extremely grievous, the entire feeling of regret as if stifling his chest.

"I'm sorry Aini.. I'm sorry I made you like this.. I'm sorry I made you suffer like this.. What am I supposed to do, Aini?" lirih Athaya's.

As if the inner bond is intertwined, Dirga and Indira have just arrived in Bandung. Since Dirga will have a week-long activity there, he brings along his wife and son. Before Fahri's father's house, they stopped by Papa Dirga's house. Athaya and Aini now live there. Papa Dirga continues his treatment in Jakarta.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Indira and Dirga in unison.

"Goddessalam... Den Dirga, Non Dira.." Mbok Asih welcomed both.

"Lho, where's Athaya with Aini, Mbok?" ask Indira.

"Anu Non's.. It seemed like Den Gus and Non Aini had a fight. Mbok Ratmi was accompanying Non Aini in the room. If Den Gus seems to be in the garden to calm down."

"Sister." - Athaya hugged Dirga and cried.

"Ck! Very crybaby! What's the problem?" dirga asked while patting his sister-in-law's shoulder.

"This is asking me to divorce her after giving birth," Dirga and Indira gasped in shock.

"Can we?! There must be something wrong" Indira guessed.

"Gue doesn't know, Dira. He just said, if he's afraid he can't take care of me and our son. He even told me to find another woman who sincerely wanted to take care of our son. My heart hurts, Brother, Dira.. I'm so sorry because I made him rich now! It's all my fault" isak Athaya was called Dirga.

"Udah.. Hitherto.. Don't cry on. I will try to talk from heart to heart with Aini. You should be aware, because pregnant women are sensitive because of the increase in hormones as well. Now play with Gemma, we're here because Gemma misses Om and his Aunty. I went to Aini's room first" said Indira.

He let Gemma play with Athaya and Dirga. Arriving in the room, he also saw Aini who was still crying in the arms of Mbok Ratmi.

"Assalamu'alaikum. "greet Indira.

"Walaikumsalam, Sister Syafa?!" Aini and Mbok Ratmi turned.

Mbok Ratmi let go of his embrace and left them both.

"What's my dear sister? How crying? Later ponakan brother also sad, you know.."

Aini lowered her head, not daring to look into Indira's eyes. But Indira understood, something must have happened.

"Dengerin Brother yes, Aini. Every marriage has its own test, how can we pass it if we don't strengthen each other?"

"It's scared, brother.. Lots of people say, if Aini will not be able to take care of Mas Athaya and our son," said Aini.

"Honey.. Dear.. Look Brother!" Indira raised her chin Aini agat could look at him.

"Did Athaya not prove enough that she loves you? Whatever he's doing for you and your son, Dek.. He fought for you both.. Will you release Athaya and your child?" indira asked and Aini shook her head.

"Will not do it, will you? That's why, dear.. Talk about it with a cool head, yeah.. I'm sure you'll be able to pass any test if you keep together."

"One more thing, Aini. Never be horrified by people's words, because it will only hurt you, Dek. Just go in the right ear and out the left ear. Now is the time for you to prove to those humans, if you can and you can! Do you mean Brother?" indira asked and Aini nodded her head.

"You have much, brother. Sorry Aini," said Aini hugging her sister-in-law.

"I'm sorry about your husband, Dek. No household can achieve happiness without the efforts of husband and wife. So, keep stepping together despite the many problems and trials."

The harmony of a household lies in the attitude of responsibility and the establishment of healthy communication. No matter how expensive a pillow is, it will not be able to replace the comfortable and calm shoulders of a husband to lean on.
